    VN-Stat - WAN Link Aggregation

    Just a heads up if you are using WAN link aggregation on an ASUS router which supports dual Ethernet connections between the modem and two ports on the router the data usage reported in vn-stat is no longer accurate. Currently VN-Stat shows I have used 689 GB but according to Comcast my useage...

    Help with structured media panel

    Picture 33 is your main grounding connection point and is where the ground for your electrical service as well as CATV and telephone all come together. A wire from there to the ground block for CATV needs to be connected. My guess is the satellite installer disconnected it. The next step is...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    Could be but prior release versions the router was stable. Will see if problem repeats then look at perhaps removing scripts.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    I installed 388.2 on my AX86S yesterday and while the upgrade went smoothly. But today I had the same issue as you and the router rebooted itself. Problem was when the router rebooted I could not access the router's admin screen using Ethernet and the WiFi wouldn't let devices connect...

    Help with structured media panel

    This panel was setup to distribute CATV throughout your home. It also can be used to connect a cable modem. What you need to do is first identify and label both ends of each coaxial cable. This can quickly be done working with a partner and an inexpensive tester like the Sperry TT64202...

    Recommend a good quality coax/Ethernet test tool for home use?

    I use a Sperry Instruments tester model TT64202. It will check continuity on both coaxial and Ethernet cable and test the pinning in Ethernet. My TPLink smart switches ( TL-SG108E) provide some additional about about possible faults and the quality/ reliability of the network cables connected...

    Recommend a good quality coax/Ethernet test tool for home use?

    Do you just need to check a cable that it is pinned correctly and there is continuity on all pairs or do you want to certify that a cable with handle certain speeds?

    What’s the best way to change router?

    The only thing you can readily move from one router to another is the list of static IPs if they have been exported using YazDHCP on the AC68 and if the router you buy supports YazDHCP you can import them onto the new router after installing YazDHCP.

    Looking for a scalable/simple/inexpensive psuedo VPN appliance...

    Look at the travel routers from GLi-Net. They are inexpensive, they can run either OpenVPN or WireGuard which starts automatically at startup and they can either be connected to the patients router/network using either an Ethernet cable or using WiFi. The latest model which costs $129 is...

    Asus router suggestion for >1200Mbps via WAN port (Comcast)

    Make sure your PC can handle the speed. Connect your PC directly to the modem and see what speed you get. To get over 940Mbps on a speedtest you will have to upgrade its network card. The added network bandwidth from Comcast can be useful but only if you are saturating your connection at...

    2 Routers (Linksys& GL.iNet) on same network

    Can the Linksys give you one gig when connected using an Ethernet connection? If yes you can use it as the front router? You do have to put the second router in a different subnet from the first router. For example if Linksys is 192.168.1.0/254 then second router's LAN could be...

    2 Routers (Linksys& GL.iNet) on same network

    First your GLi-Net router will work fine double NATed behind your other router, the VPN clients will work fine if the router supports running a VPN client with no need to put the GLi-Net in the DMZ. What speed is your plan from Verizon? If you have a higher speed plan you probably want a...

    Fail Safe Dual Router setup

    I run a double NAT setup. The first router is primarily for IoT type devices which connect using a guest networks and are blocked from accessing intranet. Second router is for my more secure/trusted devices. If for some reason the WiFi on the second router fails then wireless users can...

    RT-AX88U VPN Streaming

    In this case use DNS over TLS (DoT) as this will encrypt your DNS requests so at least your ISP won't know what web sites you are visiting for streaming. Install Merlin on your router and with the VPN director. Then you can specify by device if it is routed using a VPN tunnel or the...

    RT-AX88U VPN Streaming

    Are you trying to bypass geo blocking with the VPN or will it work for you if you just use the VPN for connections other than streaming? Preventing geo blocking using a VPN is trickier as Netflix, Prime, etc. recognize the IPs used by VPN servers and block them. If you find a server that...

    Asus RT-AX86S $179.99 B&H Photo

    I got my RTAX86S from Amazon just before New Year's for that price but they included $150 gift card. Given that I have never trusted my AC86 after having to go through four units to get a working one thought it was time to move on.. With the temperature the AC86 runs at I didn't see it...

    AC1900 fails to allow internet access when connected as a secondary router

    Port forwarding isn't necessary for a VPN client running on a second router double NATed behind another router. I have currently run in double NAT no port forwards and it has worked fine for years.

    AC1900 fails to allow internet access when connected as a secondary router

    You need to use the AC1900 in a double NAT setup. Run a cable from a LAN port on the edgemax to the WAN port on the AC1900. On the on the AC1900 set it to obtain DHCP automatically. It will get a WAN IP that is in the edgemax LAN pool. On the IP range for the AC1900 pick a subnet that...
